The bills of Mr. John Abraham, of Alderman bury) engaged in the Leeds woollen trade, were returned this afternoon. The %Lure has been announced of Mr. C. Dose, a large cotton speculator at Havre. The liabilities are stated at £40,000, and the assets are thought to be Considerable. It is feared that the statements current yesterday _that the affairs of the L ee d s B a nking Company are lately to prove less unfavourable than was at first 121PPOSed will not prove to have been well founded. It is now said there are bills for about £2,000,000 under discount, bearing the company's endorse- M eet, of which a very considerable proportion will Come back upon them. Under these circumstances there is no reason to apprehend that the liquidation Will be a long and expensive one, and that heavy calla will have to be made on the shareholders. It is further affirmed that the bank has been insolvent fora long time past, and that the distress of the last month or two was only the natural and inevitable result of financial measures of more than doubtful character, which have extended over a long period. The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro portions allotted were—to Calcutta £177,700, to Bombay £120,000, and to Madras £2,300. The minimum price was, as before, ls. 111.1. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and is. lltd. on Bombay. The 6pplications within the limits amounted to £980,000. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at 2s. will receive about 23 per cent., on Bombay at 25. Id. about 60 per cent., and all above these prices in full. These terms indicate a diminished demand for remittances to the East. Ou the last occasion the lowest of the successful tenders was 2s. 10. on Calcutta and 2s, 1/d, on Bombay, and the applica tions amounted to £1,300,000.

(Before Mr. Byron Pigott.) THE CHARGE 0)' ILLEGALLY RECEIVING A LUNATIC. Henry Wilken, a surgeon, surrendered to answer an ins dictment charging him with illegally receiving a young lady named Eliza Mitten, a person of unsound mind, without having any authority or license from the Commissioners of Lutrtcy, under the statute of the Bth and 9th Vict., for the better protection of persons of unsound mind. Mr Giffird appeared for the prosecution; Mr Metcalfe defended. It appeared that the lady in question was of weak in tellect, and having become a patient of Dr Wilkin, he received her into his house, and kept her under restraint and confinement, and treated her as a person of un sound mind. But she contrived to make her escape, and was found wandering about until taken care of by the police, when Dr Wilkin claimed her as his patient, and the present proceedings were instituted under the statute against the defendant for not having complied with its provisions. A number of witnesses were now called, who spoke to the kind and humane manner in which he had always treated the young lady. _ _ POLICE INTELLIGENCE, —This day. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. The learned Baron ordered judgment to be respited until next session. The defendant then entered into his own re• cognisances in £2OO to appear on the 26th of October to receive judgment, and left the court. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Elizabeth Haggis, a young girl 19 years of a g e, was in dieted, under the coroner's inquisition, for the w ilful mur der of her illegitimate male child.lt appeared that the prisoner had given birth to tho child at the residence of her mother, a widow and charwoman at Hackney, early in August. The child was discovered by the mother lying dead and wrapped up on a table. A post morten. examination had shown that the child had been born alive, and that the death was caused by strangulation from pressure of the windpipe by the thumb and finger. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury acquitted the prisoner, who 'was ordered to be discharged. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr Commissioner Ker,) THE FRAUDS ON THE CITY GAS COMPANY. Richard Greenwood, lately.„a collector in the employ of the City of London Gas Light and Coke Cempany , who had pleaded guilty te:several indictments for embezzling moneys, was this morning called up for judgweut. Mr Commissioner Ker sentenced the prisoner to five fears' penal servitude. M, Jules Hart, a well known merchant at Havre, died suddenly from apoplexy the evening before last in the cheat re of that town. Ho was about to retire from business, and had hired an apartment in Paris, with the intention of taking up his residence in the capital. The Journal de Lot et Garonne states that the Tribunal of First Instance of Agen has condemned the responsibl© editor of the Courrier Agenais to 600 f. fine and a month's imprisonment for a contravention of the law on the press.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—John Barry, a COS termonger, was placed at the bar charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Hannah Springall, an unfortunate girl. Complainant's face was frightfully disfigured, and one of her eyes completely closed, besides which she had some wounds on the back of the head. Sbe stated that the pri• soner had lived with her for a short time, but that she had left him on Sunday last in consequence of his repeated bru tality. On Tuesday he met and beat her with his fists, and at an early hour this morning committed the assault of which she now complained. Ile broke into her room, and beat her about the head with a piece of iron and a looking glass. He struck her several times, and afterwards com mitted an assault upon a soldier. She was taken to the hospital where hf , r wounds were stitched up. Mr Arnold—Was the prisoner intoxicat,d ? Complainant—l c.in't say ho was sober. Mr Arnold—Did he inflict all the injuries you now bear Complainant—He did. Mr Arnold—How do you mean he brat you about the head with a looking-glass ? Complainant—He broke it about my head. The soldier assaulted did not press his chargo against the prisoner, but gave some evidence in support of the state ment of prisoner's brutality to the woman. George Stickle, 95 B, said he was called to St. Ann-street at one this morning, and there found the woman bleeding from the injuries - she hid recoivcd. Oa examining the pieces of glass he found some blood and hair on one of the pieces. Prisoner Nt as remanded until Monday. MARLBOROUGH STREET. DESERTING CHILDREN.—Francis Moacati, a press man, who gave the address Drury Chambers, Drury-lane, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, with deserting his three children, aged 5 years. 3 years, and 20 months, whereby they became chargeable to the parish of St. James's. Mr Tett, inquiring officer of St James's parish, said the prisoner's three children had been admitted into the work house, being in a destitute state. From inquiries he made he found that the prisoner was a pressman, and had worked at Mr Howlett's, printer, of Frith-street, and could well earn £2 a week but for his drunken habits. He yesterday gave the prisoner the option of being admitted into the workhouse with his children, and then being passed to his parish, on goirg before the magistrate. The prisoner came in, but in consequence of refusing to stay ho was obliged to apply for a warrant and take him into custody. He had heard the prisoner had expressed his intention of deserting his family and going into the army. The prisoner's aunt said he had been a hardworking young man till some time ago when he fell out with his wife. He brought the children to her to take care of, and as she could not keep them she took them to the workhouse. The prisoner's wife was in the hospital, and only a few days ago gave birth to another child. She had been told that he intended to go for a soldier. Mr. Tyrwhitt said unless the prisoner could settle with the parish authorities he must be committed for a month. The prisoner said he had tried to get work and could not. Mr Tyrwhitt said a man who could earn good wages as a pressman was not a fit person for compassion, and (Mr Tett stating that no arrangement could be made with the prisoner) committed the prisoner for a month. ATTEMPTED SITICIDE.—Sarah Bell, cook to Sir William Abdy, of 208, Hill-street, Borkeley-square, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by hanging herself. Edward Sherrard, coachman to Sir Wm. Abdy, deposed that he was called from the stables by some of the other servants, and on going to the prisoner's bedroom found her hanging by a piece of cord to a peg in the wall, He cut her down, and she was insensible for a short time, and she was afterwards given into custody. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt - , the witness said that the cord was tightly fastened round the prisoner's throat. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. FICKPOCKETS.—GLorgo Smith, Alfred Abrcy, end Robert Jacobs were charged by Henry Rough, 310 A, with attempting to pick pockets. _ _ _ The case being proved by the officer, who showed great perseverance in watching the prisoners, Mr Tyrwhitt com mitted them for three months each. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE OF STAEBING.—Raymond Rodrigues was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stabbing John de Leon, with intent to murder him or do grievous bodily harm. Mr Charles Young. solicitor, defended the prisoner. Inspector Holloway, of the H. division, stated that the prisoner and the man he had wounded were both Spaniards and boarding-house keepers, Leon carrying on his business at No. 187, Ratcliff highway, and Rodrigues at 28, Albert street, Shadwell. Lest night they quarrelled at the Rose and Crown publichousc in Ratcliff-highway, and the pri eouel uttered e,itat; tl,leuto towardo Lcon, oaa.d. 0.11 Choy-mere leaving the house stabbed him in the abdomen with a long knife, inflicting a serious wound. The wounded man was taken to the London Hospital, and ho was not expected to recover. Mr Holloway then put in the following medical certiflelte. . . " John do Leon, who was admitted here last night with a punctured wound in the abdomen, is in a precarious way. I think it would be advisable to take his evidence as soon as possible. It. T. Jubb, Surgeon, London Hospital, Sept. '22, 1864." Mr Partridge—Are there any witnesses ? Mr Holloway—Yes, sir, several. Mr Partridge directed that the prisoner should be at once taken to the London Hospital, and he would proceed there as soon as possible and receive tho deposition of the wounded man. The statement of Leon, and the evidence of J. Mitchell, of Ib7, Rateliff-highway, seaman, Briant Van do Mulur, waiter, at the Rlse and Crown, and Murphy, a clothier, made out a strong case against the prisoner, who was re manded for a week. Leon's recovery is very doubtful. He appeared to be in a sinking condition, and with difficulty gave his evidence through the medium of an interpreter. recision under the New Medical Act. At the Marlborough-street Police Court, yesterday, Mr Francis Bearnard, surgeon chiropidist to the Royal family, No. 59, Regent-street, again appeared before Mr Tyrwhitt to answer a summons fur using the word " surgeon" on his door, in contravention of the provisions of the New Medical Act. Mr W. Tilley, of Beaconsfield, Bucks, representing the Medical Council (,f Education and Registration, appeared in support of the summons, and Mr Lewis, jun., of Ely-placel appeared for Mr Bearnard. The case has already been reported. It may be recollected that on the first occasion it was proved on the one side, and admitted on the oth er , th a t th e words " surgeon chiropo dist" were on the defendant's door plate; that the defendant was not a surgeon in England, nor was he registered as of the medical profession. Mr Tyrwhitt adjourned the case to take time to consider his decision. Mr Tyrwitt said —I have considered this case, and it appears to me that "surgeon," though prefixed to "chi ropodist," canna be treated as mere surplusage, but must have a meaning, ana was intended to have one. That moan ing must be measured, not in the narrow sense in which knowing Londoners, experienced in vain pretension and in the steps of medical rank, might take it, but by the general acceptation which the great body of mankind passing the defendant's doer-plate would ascribe to the words used there. I think, on the whole, that these words would convey to them that a surgeon duly qualified and registered as such practised ..at the house in question as a chiropo dist. Taken to be such a surgeon, he would command more confidence with those who sought his aid as a chiropodist; and, not only that, but he might naturally be consulted by them in surgical matters beyond the mere treatment of corns. We must allow something for the craving after small titles which is eo widely spread at pre sent, brought, it may be, by German steamers. The corn cutter is restless until he writes "chiropodist," and next, from fear of so much Greek not being understood, he dubs himself "surgeon" at all hazards. On the whole, it the defendant will remove from his door-plate and cards the word "surgeon.' I might consider as to mitigating the penalty, which is £2O, and in that hopo would adjourn my decision till this day week. But if the defendant requests me to grant a case for the opinion of a superior court I will do so. In that case it will be needless to adjourn the case, and I fine him £2O, Mr Lewis, jun., said since the last hearing Mr Bearnard had been to the Medical Council, and the secretary had informed him that they were not initiating the complaint. Mr Tyrwhitt said he had nothing to do with the Medical Council. Mr Lewis, jun., said if Mr Bearnard took a case to a superior court he had a right to know whether Mr Tilley was a uepoueible person. Mr Bearnard had been called upon by several medical gentlemen, who had expressed their distaste at the proceedings. After some consultation between Mr Lewis and Mr Bear nerd, Mr Lewis said, with all deference to the judgment just delivered, his client would take a case, and Mr Bear nerd would at onto enter into the requisite sureties. Mr Tilley appled for e uaimenses against other persons for infringement of the Medical Act, and they were gtauted. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —At the ploughing match at Brackley on the 20th, the champion prize open to all England, was won by Messrs, Ransome's man, James Barker. This is the third conse cutive match of this Beason at which Barker has beaten George Brown, the celebrated ploughman of the Messrs. Howard. iSTIIE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT PONTY. POOL-ROAD.—An inquiry Melling the circum stances of this accident has been held by the directors of the Great Western Railway Company, and after heating the evidence as to the cause of the collision, it was determined to discharge the pilot engine-man (who it will be remem bered accompanied the driver of the train to which the acci dent happened) and the sigualmax at PJutypool-road, and to inflict a One of 10s on tae siglitthgan otton Supply Assoeation. At the usual weekly meeting of the executive com- mittee, held on Tuesday, Sept. 20, a letter was read, dated Government House, Antigua, West Indies, August 0 6, stating that his Excellency, the Governor-in-Chief of those Islands has joined some gentlemen in an experi ment to grow cotton on an abandoned sugar estate, with a view to induce proprietors generally to enter into the cultivation. The first 100 acres will speedily be planted; the outlay is not more than 30s per acre; the seed used is from the island of Anguilia, where cotton has been most successful, and whence it is said the American planters procured their first seed. Satisfactory specimens of Antigua cotton have already been sent by the governor through the Board of Trade, and sanguine hopes of further success are entertained. A letter was received representing that the Hayden Government has raised the export duty on cot ton. A letter was read stating that Count Livacheff, principal aide-de-camp to the Grand Duke Michael, is desirous of introducing the culture of cotton into the Caucasus, where the short Bokhara cotton has already been successfully cultivated, and requesting such infor mation and assistance as the association can render. A letter was received, enclosing a small sample of African cotton which the British Consul, Mr Balfour Baikie, has forwarded to Mr Barley. A letter from the honorary agents of the association at Calcutta, states that cotton has been cultivated very extensively, but the out-turn cannot be relied upon, and in some districts will probably prove a failure, owing to the long continued drought. Many natives have been in duced to purchase exotic seed, both Egyptian and Ameri can ; the Rajah of Benares has taken a quantity of the lat ter. A letter was received from Wellington, Madras, enclosing a sample of a supposed kind of cotton fibre, obtained from a tree on the Neilgherry Hills, of which numerous specimens have at various times been forwarded, but which have never been found available. The honorary agents at Bombay report that they have recently supplied Egyptian, New Orleans, and Sea Island seed to the deputy commissioner of Chandah, and have applications from Seore (Bhopal), the deputy commissioner of Wurdah, the settle ment officer,Sukkur (Scinde),and others in Marcara (Coorg), and elsewhere. Consular despatches, forwarded by the Foreign-office, were received from Salonica, Thessaly, Adrianople, Smyrna, the Mores, and Madeira. In the let ter island x.,,, wawa is grown, nor is thsie soy prospect that its cultivation would afford satisfactory results. The consul of Salonica reports that in Macedonia 50,e00 acres were planted with cotton in 1863, and about 140,000 acres in 1864 ; that in the former year 8,000 cwt of exotic seed, chiefly Ame rican, had been used, and that this year 40,000 cwt, all Ame rican, have been sown. The crop, which amounted to 90,000 cwt in 1863, is expected to yield 350,000 cwt this year. As a proof of the energetic measures for the destruction of locusts taken by Akif Pacho, the Governor-General of Salonica, who offered a reward of a few piastres for every oke of locusts collected, and visited in person the localities most subject to their ravages, it is stated that as many as 1,600,0001 b weight of locusts were brought to Salonica and paid for. At the time they were collected they were so small that as many as 5,200 of them only weighed one pound, showing how vast an amount of mischief has thus been prevented. This was not effected without con siderable difficulty, arising chiefly from the prejudices Amiana' agricultural o p era ti ons , of the rural p o p u l a ti on who cons id er it a sin to de stroy locusts. Th e re t urns suppl i e d by the vice - consul of Larissa and Vol o / h ow that i n Thessaly 6 , 500 acres were planted with c o tt on in 1869, an d about 2 5 , 030 ac res in 1864; that 7,2501 b o f A merican ' see d have been use d this year, being four ti mes th e quant ity sown the previous year, and that the p ro d uce, w hi c h in 18 63 w as 55,0001 b, will, it is estimated, amount to be t w een 1.,650,000 and £1,750,0001b0001b this year. Th e crop o f the last two years has been shipped from V o l o t o Marse ill es by French steamers. The expected cession o f G overnmen t waste lands rent free, and the suspension f or a term o f years of the levy of tithes, have not been real i sed. Th e system of farming a nd selling the tithes o f th e whole pro vince to the highest bidders, who in their t urn refarm an d resell at a profit to other speculators the subdi v i s i ona l portions of tho several districts, remains unaltered, and is said to be p roductive of infinite abuses, injustice, a n d vexa tion to tho trade r a s well as to the grower. The wa n t o f r oads is a grea t inconve nience, and adds con s id era bl y t o the cost of transport. The crops everywhere pr esent a mos t promising appearance. The cultivation of cott on i n t h e pashalik of Smyrna has i n creased from 29,000 acres i n 1863 to 6 3 ,7 60 acres in 1864, and the produce whi c h in the former year, ex -14e., was 43,000 bales, is expected to the to 101 ,000 bales, or 303,000 cwts. In many loca ozl t u ai e s e : h a t e h eo thiscf cultivators Adana,lt yeari v 40r s have been obliged to sow t w i ce and even three times; later on the plant was attacked by a small Cleo patra grub, which injured th e first shoots, but as the plant had time to make fresh and more nu merous sho ots, it is suppos ed that the crop ha s b een much improved by thi s nove l method of heading. It is generally expected that the co tton ground will be much extended next spring. I di s trict of Adrianople, the vice-consul repor t s that the pro duce per acre is 300 to 3201 b, and in the distri cts of Uzun kiupra and Dimotica , 4201 b to 4351 b; t hat cotton is _ cu ltivated without ir ri g atio n , and that tithe h as been cora ppirnoodeao f m uted for a fixed ass essment as re g ards old la nds, to be re newed every five years .

In Elia, in the Mo res, 2 50 acres were planted with cotton in 1863, and 875 acres in 1864 ; a small quantity of American seed has been used, and an increase of produce from 50,0001 b. in thef ormer year to 200,0001 b. in the latter is expected.

It appears t hat the wife, whois 4O years of ag©, while the husband is above 62, had left her husband's house six months ago, and had refused to return to live with him. Exasperated by her refusals, he at last determined on ven geance, and fired a pistol at , her loaded w ith s l ug s. The woman is likely to recover. .

When the distinguished company assembled at Christiansborg Palace last evening left the concert room, where for more than two hours Danish melo dies had been plaid or sung in brilliant succession, they proceeded to the Riddersaal, or great barquet ticg-hall, an apartment of truly Royal dimensions, and such as might have been erected by that Prince who declared that Westminster-hall was intended by him merely for a bedroom in the palace he wee about to build. On the way thither A procession was fumed in the following order :—First the Hof-Mare steal or Lord High Steward, Uen ; then the Prince of Wales leading in Her M= j 'sty the Queen of Denmaik ; next the King, accompanying nor Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, the Landgrave William of Hesse with the Princess Mary of Anhalt, the Crown Prince of Denmark and the Princess Hilda of Auhalt ; finally Prince Hans of Glucksburg with the Princess Degmar. The immediate suites of Royalty and the more distin guished guests, that is to say, in Danish phrase, "the ladies of the Court and cavaliers," followed, and finally those constituting the general company. Passing from the Hall of Music through what is called the Seventh Great Room, and which no doubt purposely was kept a little gloomy, a scene of rare beauty burst upon them as they entered the Rid dersaal. The height of this enormous room is fully 50 feet, its length and width are proportionate, and when illumined by 2,000 wax lights, the pureness of its decorations, of white and gold throughout, conveyed to the senses an impression as of an atmo sphere of lustrous ivory, It was only by degrees that the eye accustomed itself to the details, and learnt to admire the ceiling moulded into a pattern diamond shaped and deeply recessed, the exqusite marble frieze by Bissen, and the means existing for throwing down this wonderful body of light, with. out the intervention of a single lamp. Five large tables for refreshments ran round the apartment, and in the centre was one specially devoted to the Royal party. The latter answered at the same time the purposes of a buffet, there being displayed upon it three splendid silver stands, illustrative of hunting scenes, which were made in Paris for Chris tian VII., also three beautiful vases, dating from the time of Frederick VI., enriched upon their lofty sides with views of Frendensborg, Fredeiicksburg, and Sorgenfri, the residence of the Queen Dowager. The refreshments, which were moulded by culinary art into wonderful shapes, and were, it is needless to add, of the choicest quality, were taken standing, by the company. After supper had practically concluded the members of the royal party remained for a long time in conversation with their guests. Among those with whom they talked freely was the First or Senior Bishop of Zealand—for in Denmark they have no archbishops—the head of the Luthea ran Establishment in the country. This right reve rend prelate, equally with the other clergymen pre sent, was attired in the costume which has been handed down in its integrity from the time of Luther. Differing, however,'from the officiating clergy of particular districts he, with his colleagues among the higher orders in the ministry, is entitled to wear silk, and even velvet, instead of the plain stuff dress or gown; and when to this decorations for long and distinguished service are added, it may be questioned whether even the formal Lutheran costume does not approach somewhat near to the " pomps and vanities." In every quarter of the room to which the Queen of Denmarir happened to make her way her presence could be traced when her face could not be seen by the lustre of the diamond head-dress which she wore. Judg ing from their sin, these brilliants probably formed part of the Regalia. Ribands and badges were by no means confined to the male por tion of the asecrnbly, for several of the ladies present were similarly distinguished. These were members, not of the order of the Parfaite Alliance,' open to ladies as well as to gentlemen, which once existed in Denmark, bnt of the Royal Chapter of Vallee, a wealthy and benevolent order, to which none but ladies of noble birth are admitted. Oi members in this there are at least four grades, and it is indispensable that they should all be peeresses in their own right, In the first of these grades the members are entitled to a residence, to a yearly in.. come of 1,200 ecus, and to other advantages, inclul ing the privilege of wearing the badge and riband of the order; the second class can only wear the badge, receiving b5O ecus yearly; to the third class 300 ecus annually are given without any honorary distinction. This order, half feudal, half eleemosy nary, was established in the year 1737 by Sophia Madeline, wife of Caristian VI. Glancing from the shoulder knots and ciphers in brilliants worn by this honourable sisterhood, to the other portions of the radiant assembly met together in this kingly'hall, it was impossible to believe that this could be a State in its decadence, and almost in danger of dis appearing from the map of Europe. Where were the symptoms of that decay and corruption foretell ing the final agony ? The King was surrounded by Ministers —men, indeed, who might have been mis taken in their action, bat of unswerving honesty and integrity of purpose ; by generals representing an army of Euch indomitable courage that it never ceased to show front to its enemies, though crushed by overwhelming disparity of force. Men of historic title—the Danneskiold-Samsoes, Oxholms, Lewene skiolds, Laurvigens, Ahlefelts, Brestropps—stood around him. Great landholders, such as the Counts of Schulein, Holstein-Ledreburg, Langeland, and Denneman, were in attendance to prove their loyalty. The truth is that in all that constitutes the true progress of a nation Denmark has not declined of late years. OCeers with larger populations may have advanced more rapidly, but for that she cannot be blamed. Edu cation and respect for the laws have never been more general in the country ; nearly every social grade is comfortably off ; the institutions are, if anything, only too liberal. Last, but certainly, not least, the Court, like our own, is one where the breath of scandal can find nothing upon which to rest and blacken. Such was the scene of the Ride dersaal, and such the reflections it provoked. It only remains to be added that the perfect success of the evening's entertainments was largely owing to the admirable arrangements made beforehand, and carried out under the personal supervision of the Hof-Marshal and Marechal de la Cour. MR. COXWELL'S BEN EFIT AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. —Yesterday was a busy day at the Crystal Palace for all who take an interest in ballooning, Mr Cox well, who has done so much to raise it from a mere amuse ment to the dignity Lf a scientific pursuit, took his first benefit there, and throughout the day furnished a continual succession of novel and interesting exhibitions of his art. The balloon races were a great success, and at half-past four Mr Coxwell, accompanied by somo half-dozen adven turous volunteers, made an ascent in the "Mammoth," which now deserves to be reckoned as one of the great scientific observatories of the world. Later on there were some entertaining experiments in the Central Transept with a navigable aerial ship, and at half-past 7 there was a grand night ascent in the "Mars," with a display of fire works. Mr Coxwell was loudly cheered whenever be ap peared, and on all sides there seemed to be a general dis position to make amends to him for the illusage he suffered from the turbulent Foresters at Leicester. The admissions on payment were 10,837 —by season tickets, 2,625—t0ta1, 13,462. A totter from Lyons, in the 21Ioniteur des Arts states that some workmen engaged in digging near the wood of Itochecardon, in the environs of that city, have discovered traces of a Roman camp. Near the surface they found a quantity of fragments of arms and other articles, chiefly bronze, and, at the dtpth of 18 feet, a number of swords, battle-axes, spear-heads, &e., all in tolerable pre etvation. They aho found a number of bronze coins, beating the heads of Dumitian Antoninus and Marcus Au relius, and one silver medal of the Emperor Albinus. It is supposzd that this spot was the scene of a fierce coLflict in ,ho great battle between Albinus an d Septixnus Severus, which is ;crown to have taken place on the left bank of the Saone in that neighbourhood. All the objects found in these excavations are now in th e p ooses3inn of I‘l, Vaganay ) AU antienaty of Lyons.

Yesterday being tte feast of St Matthew, the senior scholars of Christ's Hospital, according to annual custom, delivered the orations and recitations cf the year beftra the Lord Mayor, Mr sheriff Nissen, several members of the Town Council, and a large number of the friends of the tatudents. The civic party first attended service at Christ Church N e wgate-street, where a sermon was preached by the Rev, Dr. W. Haig Brown, of Pembroke College, Cambridge, who has recently been appointed head master of Charter house School. _ The Lord Mayor and party then proceeded to the great hall of the hospital, where they took their scats on a raised platform at the western end. For the orators a dais was erected in the centre of the hall, and the galleries were occupied by the junior boys. The Rev. Dr Jacob, the head-master, and the other masters of the school were present around the dais. Mr William Farrer, 3d Grecian, Thompson mathema tical medallist and Montt fiore prizeman, 1854, scholar of Pembroke College, Oxford, delivered the prologue in Latin. lie asked a fair hearing for his fellow students, and ex pressed a hope that, amidst the many disturbing cares of the present day, the audience might be able to give a few minutes to the youthful exertions of those who would ad cress them— " Favete—Adeste requis manibus, et res plaudits Manibus benignis et juvenis fugiat pudor." Mr Arthur &yin, 4th Grecian, next delivered the Greek oration on the benefits of the Royal hospitals. Mr Lewis Le Hardy Sharkey, Ist Grecian, Thompson classical medallist, 1852, Richards medallist, 1862 and 1864 scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, delivered the English oration. The Latin oration was delivered by Mr A. R. Dawson, 6.h Grecian, scholar of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Mr Robert Harry Hughes, sth Grecian, schelar er• Jesus College, Cambridge, delivered the French oration. The following recitations were then delivered :—Greek lambics—Translation from "Hamlet," Mr D.

A collection was then made on behalf of the young men proceeding to Oxford and Cambridge, and the proceedings terminated with the National Anthem. The delivery of the orations and recitations was very good, and the various orations were justly applauded by those critical scholars ‘Nho could appreciate the (Ufa 2ultics of the task which the young Grecians had to overcome. The fairer portion of the audience also heartily joined in the manifes tations of applause, though probably from more tender feel ings. The orations were well committed to memory, and were spoken in a fluent and clear style; but making this remark, we only say what is the ordinary case at the annual exercitations of the alumni of this excellent scho9l, SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Sept. 22.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly; moderate breLz3 and fine weather, vial rain during the night.

A communication from Berne says :—" The Fe- deral Council has received fresh adhesions to the reaty for medical aid to the wounded decided on by the International Congress which recently met at Geneva.

BENARES PLOT.—The Maharajah of Benares lately sent word to the local authorities that a Mahomedan stranger in the city had made urgent applica tions for an interview with him, on the plea that he bore confidential despatches which must be delivered into the te granted, Sittana. and d Maharajah's own hands. For some reason the roan was s l u t s w p a e s c t t e h d er t oefhave decidedcom efrom that tthbe.ew b inery neighbourhoodinterview of at the special request of the Maharajah au agent of Govern ment be concealed in the room of audience to hear what passed. The scoundrel, who gives the name of Goon Khan of Rewah, duly kept his tryste, and presented what pur ported to be letters bearing the signature and seals of the Akhoond of Swat and Itajah of Jummo, introducing the bearer as their confidential agent, who would receive any thing the Maharajah would send them, and who bore mes sages of importance from them to the Maharajah. The man then went on to state that it was arranged by the Akhoond and the Rajah of Jummo that they should make a joint attack on the British immediately after the rains, and the Rojahs, Nam abs, and other men of influence in liindostan be invited to co-operate by simultaneously rising and by sending recruits and money to Sittana. When he had ex hausted his budget the agent of Government stepped from behind the purdeh and arrested him. Other Punjebees have since been taken in the city who have been consorting, with this man, and from whom further revelations may be expected. Meanwhile Government is vigorously prosecu ting inquiries in other quarters. It is suspected that these men are mere imposters, and in no way connected with or commissioned by the Akhoond or Cajah, but merely traffic ing on the discontent of the people for their own peculiar benefit.—Dahl Gazette. The first stone of a new Congregational Chapel was laid at Scarborough on Tuesday, by Mrs Titus Salt, on a site near the South Cliffs. The chapel is being built in the Gothic style. It will cost nearly £3,000, and accom modate ten or twelve hundred persons. The Gazette del Popolo of Florence states that tha police of that city has just effected an impor tant capture of two men strongly suspected of having mur dered three women that kept furnished lodg in g s. T h is capture required a good deal of dexterity. The police having learnt that a woman of the neighbourhood had ex pressed her surprise at the disappea rance of one of the lodgers in the house where th e murder had been committed, asked whether she could identify him, and upon her reply ing in the affirmative , m ade her walk about in Florence for e d i , x ,y d s e h y e a insacwouttphaeny with a police-agent, On the sixth man, and pointed him out to the agent, who from that moment fdlowed him like his shadow, ma 'e his acquaintance, and ultimately went to Leghorn with him. litre the suspected man found an a cquaintance, who joined the party, and the agent then pro posed that they should all three take a c icerone to show t hem the town, Anoth e r p o lice -agent having offered Him self in that capacity, he was accepted, and by degrees be came quite famili a r with them, and ul t imately told theta that a deal of m one y might be got with very little trouble— just by murdering an old woman who lived in such a house where they might take up their lodgings. The bait was eagetly swallowed, and no sooner had the two men repaired to t h e house i n question, than they avers arrested, and the evidence of their guilt was found about their persons.
